Facilitation has an important role in a meaningful discussion. However, facilitation is a difficult task. A facilitator needs various skills to conduct a smooth, active and productive discussion. In addition, there are many things for the facilitator to do in the discussion. Therefore, the support system is important. In this paper, we develop a visualization tool of a discussion to reduce the facilitator's effort. First, we discuss desired functions for the visualization through analysis of our discussion corpus. Then we focus on two functions: topic accumulation and utterance amount. We implement the functions and then evaluate them. Finally, we discuss the improvement of the tool. |
